My wife left me home alone with the kids to go out drinking with her friends. A lesser man might whine and complain, but instead I'm just playing Chumbawamba's 1997 hit "Tubthumping" over and over and over. On the jukebox at their bar. Using the TouchTunes app.

Wow! Jeff is talking about me. Amazingly he remembers interacting with me 34 years ago. What a memory! Also no Amazon if it weren’t for this, since he decided not to pursue physics!

This policy initiative is not, as best I can tell, being done in coordination with government of Mexico. Accordingly, if it is successful, the victims of the initiative would become stateless. It is a terrible thing.

This story is somewhat different from the stories of the past year about denaturalization. It involves placing in dispute the citizenship of birthright citizens--people who have documentation that they were born on American soil--by asserting they were actually born in Mexico.

These actions (denying passports, stripping citizenship, rendering ppl stateless) are what you see in countries notorious for perpetrating abuses against their own people, especially religious and ethnic minorities. Can it happen here? It can and is.

Replying to @washingtonpost
The Trump administration is accusing hundreds, and possibly thousands, of Hispanics along the border of using fraudulent birth certificates since they were babies, and it is undertaking a widespread crackdown on their citizenship. wapo.st/2PNIf68

U.S. is denying passports to Americans along the border, throwing their citizenship into question

In some cases, residents of South Texas have been entered into deportation proceedings.

Americans vastly overestimate the world’s average income relative to their own; when informed about it (or even asked about it), they increase their support for foreign aid & their giving to international charities washingtonpost.com/news/monk…

Analysis | Most Americans vastly underestimate how rich they are compared with the rest of the...

Learning how large the gap really is led to more support for international aid.

Here's this morning's @SpaceX #Falcon9 #RocketLaunch from #VandenbergAFB!🚀🛰 A stack of 5 2-min exposures to create the streak. The short streak going to the right is #Mars! Always a treat to see, even from over 100 miles away in #BearValleySprings, CA. @CanonUSAimaging #6DmkII.

My remote cameras worked well, & I'm happy with the long exposure I got...but capturing the @SpaceX #Falcon9 going through the supersonic regime leaving these iridescent vapor rings at an altitude of 11km is my favorite🚀 @elonmusk Dang. 📸full-gallery: photos.tmahlmann.com/Rockets…
